CrowdStrike's latest advancements in their Falcon for XIoT platform aim to enhance security for operational and extended Internet of Things (XIoT) environments by addressing the challenges posed by increasingly interconnected industrial systems. By introducing innovations such as zero-touch asset discovery and real-time segmentation visibility, the company seeks to provide comprehensive insights and smarter security measures without the reliance on traditional hardware-dependent tools. These features, part of the agentic security platform, aim to unify data across OT, IoT, and IT environments, facilitating quicker and more informed security decisions. The updated Falcon for XIoT capabilities, expected to be generally available by the end of 2025 and early 2026, promise to transform OT security by offering seamless visibility and control, thereby aiding in the prevention of breaches and enhancing overall network security posture.
